Hi Leif,

I assume you mean the commit description, because the commit message is in the 
topic. I believe something like that would do:

CpuExceptionHandlerLib supplies misaligned GDT to the outer world
(e.g. ArchSetupExceptionStack) when PcdCpuStackGuard is enabled.
This happens because it uses an array of UINT8 for the mNewGdt
variable, which alignment is 1 byte versus required 8 bytes. As a result
ArchSetupExceptionStack always returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER in OVMF Ia32
with XCODE5 and CLANGPDB at least.

Fix this by allocating extra space in mNewGdt and then aligning the pointer
upwards.

Best wishes,
Vitaly
